[QUOTE="toquark, post: 7738521, member: 72428"] Traditionally when most land was tied up in large estates, the forestry was practiced in house and the timber belonged to the owner, not the tenant farmer. Consequently the link between farming and forests was broken. It’s not on the continent and elsewhere where they have a different history of land management and ownership. In today’s world I absolutely believe that ag students should be taught basic woodland management and economics. For many larger hill farms, an element of owned forestry would be massively beneficial. Instead many farmers seem to just decide to “sell a bit off for trees” when, if they looked into it they would discover they can plant it themselves for free and bank an annual return of around 10%, not to mention double their land value. All tax free. [/QUOTE]
